2023 AUA preview: Dr. Cookson on top research in prostate cancer

"I predict the future treatment for men with truly high-risk prostate cancer will see a fusion of what was thought to be standard local treatments combined with multimodality therapies that were initially impactful only in the more advanced disease state," writes Michael S. Cookson, MD, MMHC, FACS.

Gopal H. Badlani, MD, and Steven A. Kaplan, MD, discuss some of the notable abstracts in benign urology that were presented at the 2023 AUA Annual Meeting.

“Our study provides real-world recurrence and survival rates, [however], a major limitation is the retrospective nature of the analysis,” wrote the investigators, led by Viktor Gruenwald, MD, PhD.

Patients in the subcutaneous arm (n = 242) achieved a geometric mean Cavgd28 of 77.373μl/mL (90% CI, 74.555-80.297) compared with 36.875 μl/mL (90% CI, 35.565-38.235) in the IV arm (n = 245), for a geometric mean ratio of 2.098 μl/mL (90% CI, 2.001-2.200).
